Yen Sun was the wife of Wild West outlaw Doc Scurlock.

Biography
Yen Sun was born into a family of Chinese immigrants, and she was raised in Lincoln, Lincoln County, New Mexico, where her father worked as a dry cleaner. When her father ruined one of businessman Lawrence Murphy's shirts, he took Yen Sun as repayment, turning her into his sex slave. She first met outlaw Doc Scurlock at a New Year's Eve party on 31 December 1877, where she referred to Murphy as her "guardian"; he took her away before she could dance with Doc. Alexander McSween later told Scurlock about the truth of Yen's situation. Doc attempted to court Yen and convince her to run away, telling her that they could be on a train to New York City and flee the country. During the Battle of Lincoln, she escaped from Murphy's carriage and entered the McSween household to join her boyfriend. The two of them escaped the town and made off for New York, with Yen bringing her mother and fourteen siblings.
